Attendance
Dear Parents and Carers,
Mrs Lane is our Attendance Officer and you will see her meeting and greeting you at the school gate and supporting your children with coming into school.
New absence reporting procedures - If you wish to report your child's absence from school, please contact Mrs Lane on (01227) 819683, if she does not answer she is unavailable, please leave a message or email her at absence@wincheap.kent.sch.uk . Please do not telephone the school office.
Mrs Lane will also be pleased to support families with any attendance concerns working alongside Mrs Cole, Pastoral Manager.
Thank you.
Kind regards, Mrs Dawson
